The Donggan Grand Canal is a living relic of Urumqi's agricultural heritage! Crystal-clear water from Tianshan Mountains flows through this ancient irrigation system, lined with shimmering poplar trees. At sunset, the canal transforms into a golden ribbon where Uyghur elders play folk songs, and the aroma of authentic milk tea and samsa wafts from nearby teahouses. As a vital Silk Road landmark, it beautifully blends farming and nomadic cultures - today still serving as the locals' favorite spot for evening strolls under the Xinjiang sky.
